Tap+Cork will present its 1st Annual Brooklyn Beer & Wine Fest (BBWF), Sunday, August 18 at the historic Lab in Brooklyn. The day-long festival will feature award-winning selections of craft beers, regional wineries and local artisan spirits.
The inaugural event, sponsored by Bed Vyne Wine & YRB Magazine, is expected to attract over one-thousand festival goers for an exciting day of tastings, live music and entertainment. DJ CEO, official deejay of Fuse TV’s “United States of Hip-Hop,” will set the party scene for the day.
In the spirit of traditional tastings, beer and wine will flow throughout the day as attendees whet their palettes with some of New York’s premiere wineries and regional breweries. Festival goers will sip and sample their way through the venue’s gated outdoor lot into an expansive two-level main room as they enjoy curated cuisines from local eateries, shop local vendors and also experience live performances by select bands and musicians.
In addition, VIP attendees will enjoy a private tasting on the upper balcony for the first hour, including rare selections and passed hors d’oeuvres.
